Bec has never led a normal life, or was never given the chance to. Born only remembering her mother and how she passed away, Bec was saved by a village's priestess who urged the village leaders to let her live. Making her the priestess's apprentice, Bec was able to learn the magic and potions that would be used in aid of those who fought in battles.
Unfortunately for Bec, she didn't know how many battles her village would be facing.
Never a quiet night, Bec's village is continuously invaded by demons, the Fomorii, who come to tear the village apart. And every night Bec must use what she has learned, which isn't much since the priestess was killed way before she was able to pass on everything she knew.
Used to having other villagers come through, Bec's village is visited by Run Fast, a boy who says that his village is in trouble. Unsure of his story or of what side he is on, the warriors feel an obligation to help and so set off to end their fight. Usually the priestess does not go along with the warriors, but this time Bec sees fit to travel with them, hoping that this journey will help her figure out what troubles her and hopefully to become one with her surroundings and her magic.
Fighting off the demons is not an easy feat, especially since both worlds have just been connected, making it easier for the demons to enter, multiplying their numbers every time one is killed. Magic is what destroys them -- and the lives of the villagers and the warriors are in the hands of Bec.
Thrilling and different from the other novels in the series, BEC is a courageous novel that leaps off the pages and plays with our imagination. The descriptions are vivid and the story is unique. With an ending that will leave you breathless, BEC is a great addition to the already popular series, THE DEMONATA.

Good book, takes a little to get going. Somewhat slower than the very first three. All is revealed by mid book then you can't seem to put it down. Great Celtic legends and info provided in back of book.

This book helped add to the gruesome tails of the Demonta series. The book Bec By Darren Shan is a great add on to the action series. This book the took place back in later times in a small village had a lot of kick to it. When bec gets taken into the village and learns the ways of magic, then she must fight off demonta to save her life and the dwindiling village. It must be hard for Bec because her mother died shortly after giving birth. Though she meets new people and learns to become their friend.
I feel this book was a well written book and it was fun to read, but it was off the story line of Grubbs ,his uncle, and Bill-E. Just becuase I was expecting to read about them I got myself excited for the book, but once I found out it was not about Grubbs it really got me down. It is still a great story and fun to read, but don't expect to see Grubbs. It has great detail though like on page thirteen when it is describing the old king, It goes far into detail. Aybody who liked Cirque Du Freak will love this book. It was a great and well written book but didn't follow the plot of the other 3 books.

Since I wanted to know what happened to Grubbs I was like "I dont care about this BEC girl" but as i read it i got so caught into it that I completely forgot..hahahha its a good book. Not so strong in the very first few pages but it gets better.-MAGALY
